Was finding the bracelet created a look of too much metal so this wasn't getting nearly enough wrist time so I yesterday stuck it on a black croc and it's (to my eyes at least) transformed and reborn. Honeymoon can begin again

My Zenith Type 20, beautiful watch, but when I go to pick-up, wind & wear, I always plump for something else, telling myself I'll wear it tomorrow. It's probably because it's LNIB & I don't want to put a mark on it. Irrational I know, but this watch game effects some strange behaviour from some of us, does it not?

I love that what model GP is it? Let me know if you really don’t wear it as I would.

Thanks for the kind words, gents.

It's a Vintage 1960, ref. 2598. I love the simplicity and legibility the central-minutes feature, and wish that more chronographs made use of it. One fewer subdial and a much easier and more-intuitive readout than a typical 30-minute counter — what's not to like? About the only drawback I can think of is that it increases the hand stack by a millimetre or so.

I only have this wrist shot for now...

...but I found the one from the previous owner that first made me take interest:

It's thick-ish watch, but the long, curved lugs and very slim caseback make it hug the wrist nicely. I really should wear it more often.

The running seconds are on the right subdial, while the left one is a 24-hour indicator. The central hand with the arrow tip shows the chronograph minutes, while the other is the chrono seconds, meaning that the timing display is entirely on the large main dial.

I suppose that the left subdial could have just as easily been for the chrono hours, but they chose not to for some reason. Either way, I absolutely love the design and details of the dial.

Cost-wise, though they don’t appear to come up for sale very often, the prices don’t seem much more than what a modern-era Speedmaster might go for.

Pretty much all of them, unfortunately just driven by ergonomics - spending 9 hours at a desk with my wrist propped up becomes uncomfortable and I end up taking it off anyway. The flip-side is now whenever I actually to go wear a watch it feels considerably more eventful.
